Global Market Roundup Q3 2018

October 21, 2018Article by Paul Avery

Every quarter we release our Global Market Roundup – a continent-by-continent summary of the latest data, regulatory changes, and other news relating to property around the world. Hot off the press, the most recent edition can be downloaded here.

As an additional time-saver, we’ve distilled the key points below:

Globally:

The global property market is in fine form a decade on from the financial crisis with the vast majority of national markets in growth mode and investment volumes setting new records.

That upswing is widespread but not particularly potent: the average growth rate has dipped slightly over the last two years.

Europe:

Euro area housing markets have returned to the pace of growth achieved before the crisis, with Slovenia, Ireland and Portugal leading the pack.

Malta just overtook Hong Kong to become the fastest growing market in the world.
